Answer:

B) 40 straight hours - 11 overtime hours

Explanation:

Due to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), after working 40 hours in a week, any extra hours are counted as overtime hours.

If Jeff worked 51 hours last week, then this means he worked 40 straight hours with 11 additional overtime hours. This makes B the correct answer choice.
